Gwen has requested that riders accomany her into the Church if possible. Therefore I am asking that you riders on the Isle of Man come and say your farewell to a Lady who has done so much for your sport. In her requests she has asked for riders to preceed her and follow her into the Church. SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO PLEASE BOYS.

Thanks for those details Rosie. Do you know if we are to wear formal suits or team wear etc.
Myself, Clem and Mr Spooner will be in attendance.

SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO PLEASE BOYS.


Ahem!!! :shock:

Don't worry Rosie, I'm chicken it's too cold ! Gwen will be laughing, trust her !

Team gear would be nice.

OK Gail, My mistake, I mean boys in the General term!!!!
so corrected Boys & Girls.

Could you tell us where the bikes are to meet up with Gwen to follow her to Balluagh church and what time.
Thanks, c u Saturday

Spoke to John this morning, It was the intention that Riders gather at the Church and walk into the church before and after her, but he said if riders would like to follow her on their bikes (which he was very touch by the gesture ) they are more than welcome to meet at the Chapel of Rest in Ramsey, by the side of the swimming pool, from 10.20am. Gwen will leave Ramsey at 10.30am and stop at her house on route.

Thanks Rosie.
team gear it is

Russ that mean the scone will have his scarf on mate, :roll: catch up with you soon. Hope there have been no unofficial pgps lately !

Gail,that is a weak excuse, you are welcome to ride pillion with me,or your dad,lol.Get your thermals on,Gwen would expect it of us :wink:

Hi all,

Is it just team riders to follow or may I join on bike?

Gwen is my fathers God Mother and very close to our family...her laughter will be much missed.

Alex,

I am sure Gwen would be delighted to be surrounded by Bikes, no matter whether you raced or just take pleasure in bikes, bikers to Gwen were her life.

Show up on your bike mate for sure

Fitz is right. in life Gwen never made a difference between first and last.... all riders in any race were heroes to her. Anyway, you're kind of family. See you there.
You are SO right about her laughter...she will be having a laugh up there with Peter Jarmann, I bet!

Many happy memories recalled, and great tributes paid to a great lady today. Now here's a funny thing...two rows in front of me was a prominent official in motorcycling, and, during the service, a LADYBIRD wandered up his back, meandering along slowly. When I told the monister about this, he immedoately said "That would be Gwen". Never seen that happen before......
